Agile Inspection Leader Certification Training

You can’t test quality in ... you have to design it in.

Quality Control is for most people and organizations reduced to Testing, even though most of us are plainly aware of how costly Testing is and that there are more intelligent ways to achieve Quality and to do Quality Control. Agile Inspection is one of the most effective and proven methods for intelligent Quality Control you can do.

Lack of clarity, unambiguous and incorrect statements in project specifications (Contracts, Requirements, Design, Code, Test-Plans, etc.) can lead to major delays and outright failures in projects. Projects today are usually very complex with high demands on delivered quality while at the same time resources and delivery timelines are very strict. The time pressure and complexity lead to errors in the project documentation. The costs of an error created in a higher level document multiply as it spreads down into the documentation and into the product. The norm is to freely allow these defects to be created and to spread throughout the documentation and into the product, without doing much about it. It is, therefore, the norm to have long costly testing phases, and even to have so many defects in the testing phases that one under deadline pressures release products with lower quality levels than the company and the customers like.

With Agile Inspection, you will learn how to quickly measure the quality of the documents (Contracts, Requirements, Design, Code) at the time of writing them. You will learn how to use these measurements up against quantitative document Exit criteria, to ensure that the quality levels of the documents are economic to release, that the documents will not cause delays for the projects in its later stages.The process is focused on giving the document authors the feedback they need to learn to write their documents to a high standard. They will learn to write documents that will not cause problems and time delays later. The Authors will learn, the authoring process will improve, and the defects showing up at Test will be dramatically reduced.

Description:Professionals with an Agile Inspection Leader Certification have the skills to plan, execute and follow-up an Agile Inspection. They know how to measure the document quality through the use of sampling, optimum checking rates, rules, procedures and numeric entry and exit conditions. This skill set will add tremendous value to any authoring process where defects add downstream costs.

In-depth knowledge of How to lead an Agile InspectionHow to quickly (within one hour) Measure the defect level of any document.How to stabilize the inspection-effectiveness using optimum-checking-rates and specification-rules.How to find defects, and how to estimate defects remaining that are not yet found.How to use numeric Entry and Exit conditions.

Workshop mode: You will be in a team of about three people who will pick a document, organize an Inspection of that document, then execute the Inspection, then estimate and evaluate the results of the Inspection. There will be about 50% lectures and 50% practical work on your team's project. Towards the end of the day, your team will present your teams work.

Using Agile Inspection, you will learn a process to write and Quality Control documents to a quality level that ensures that you don’t end up with hundreds or thousands of defects at the Test stage and in the field. Most software development projects end up with long and very expensive testing phases. This is avoidable using Agile Inspection.Document Authors learn, through systematic feedback from their colleagues, to write their documents following agreed standards that lead to clarity and fewer bugs. This again leads to vastly reduced time to market.

Learning to write documents, so the intended audience understands your intentions unambiguously and clearly.Creating a culture of authors that write their documents to a high level of quality.Reducing time to market for your product development with 50%Releasing products with high-quality levels on time and under budget.

What is it worth to you to have Authors write their Specifications, unambiguously clear and understandable, correct and according to an agreed standard.What is it worth to you to getting to test and finding very few defects.What is it worth to you if you and your team could deliver your products with high-quality levels early?What is it worth to you to reduce the time to market by 50% ?
